What if the most potent way to be missionally effective in your local community was not by devoting more hours to church leadership, but to place yourself back in the work force alongside the same people who attend your church and are trying to live their faith out each day. For the last 15 years I have been intentionally bivocational and it has been the single most transformative experience of my own Christian leadership. In this workshop I want to offer some insights into how this approach can increase your missional effectiveness and in turn your church leadership.
